For every function assigned to the animation event a call is sent via a <b>SendMessage</b> style mechanism to all components of the animated GameObjects (see <a href="https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/animeditor-AnimationEvents.html" class="link">Unity Manual - Animation Events</a>).</span></li>
    <li class="listItem"><span class="listText">Animation events are displayed with a flag icon and a number in it. The number indicates the number of functions applied to the animation event.</span></li>
    <li class="listItem"><span class="listText">If a warning symbol appears next to the flag icon, there is a problem with one of the event functions. When the mouse hovers the flag icon a tooltip is displayed that provides a detailed error message.</span></li>
</ul><p class="textBlock">By double clicking on the flag icon, a dialog window appears that allows editing the assigned event functions. There can only be one animation event per frame.

</table><h2 class="headline2" id="">Master Keys</h2><p class="textBlock">The master keys are displayed above all other keys. At each frame where at least one key is present, a master key is drawn. If a master key is selected, all keys at this frame are selected. Any operation performed on the master key influences all keys at the same frame (e.g. dragging, copy, delete,...). Master keys are only shown in the Dopesheet.</p><h2 class="headline2" id="">Keys Per Animated Property</h2><p class="textBlock">The main part shows all keys per animated property. Each line in the window corresponds to the animated property shown in the list to the left.</p><p class="textBlock">Keys are connected by a dark line. The line helps to identify if there is any key after the current one (especially useful when zoomed in). If multiple keys are selected, the line between those keys is highlighted.</p><p class="textBlock">Selected keys can be dragged to change the frame of the keys. The Dopesheet draws a key for an animated property if there is at least one key in any of its channels at the related frame. Manipulating a key in the Dopesheet will always manipulate all channel keys at the same frame. It is not possible to change a key's value in the Dopesheet.</p>
